How to find note deals on the ‘net — FREE!
If you want to find note deals without leaving home… and without even picking up the phone… then read every word of this blog post.
Because I’m going to show you a devastatingly simple (but amazingly effective) way to find a source of future note deals both in your area AND all over the country.
When I say “future note deals”, I’m talking about getting in early with property owners… before any other note-finder can contact them. And even before the note is created!
You’ve heard of website www.craigslist.org, right?
Craigslist.org is like the classified section of your newspaper — but it’s free and it’s worldwide.
You can use craiglist.org to sell your car, swap a bicycle or buy a puppy. But you can also use to craigslist.org to…
Find Future Note Deals!
Here, let me show you:
Simply go to www.craigslist.org and click on the nearest major city.
For example, I clicked on “Denver”. But you can do this with any major city near you… or anywhere in the country!
Finding note deals on craigslist - step one
Then, under the “Housing” section you’ll want to click on the “Real Estate For Sale” link.
Finding note deals on craigslist - step two
This will show you a list of all the people in that area advertising property for sale on Craigslist.org
This will show you hundreds and hundreds of properties for sale. Now here’s the really cool part.
You Can Search For Properties That Mention “Seller-Financing” In Their Listing!
Seller-financing is just another term for “cash flow notes” and since you and I are note-finders, every time you see or hear the term “seller-financing” it should get your attention.
Just enter the phrase “seller financing” in the search area and then click the search button.
Tip: Make sure you put quotes around “seller financing” as this will help provide better results.
Finding note deals on craigslist - step three
Now, Craiglist.org will show you a list of all the property for sale that use the term “seller financing” somewhere in the ad.
You may NOT see the term “seller-financing” right in the title of the ad so you’ll have to click on a few listings and do a little exploring.
But sometimes you WILL see the term “seller-financing” right in the title. I didn’t have to search for more than few seconds before I saw this:
Finding note deals on craigslist - step four
So when I clicked on the title, here’s what I discovered…
It looks like this person is selling some land using seller-financing. And if he or she ends up selling this land with seller-financing, guess what happens?
Finding note deals on craigslist - step 5.
That’s right, a cash flow note is created!
So, using the method I just revealed, you can actually find potential note deals right from the comfort of your home.
Ok, here’s your homework.
Now that I’ve shown you how to FIND these future note deals on the internet… what do you think the next step is?
Leave your answers in the comments.

These notes found on CraigsList, being in the process of creation, are not yet seasoned and may be of little interest to those wishing to invest. Without knowing more, I’d say making a personal contact with the note holder would be a good step and when the note is ’seasoned’, this contact could be what is required to make the connection with a note buyer.
May 3rd, 2010 at 1:02 pm
good idea. am using this an have found about 21 notes. now its up to me.
May 5th, 2010 at 7:38 am
that was a useful tip i think I’M gonna use that method.
July 11th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
Becasue it will be a new note there won’t be much room for negotiating unless you are able to give the seller some specifics as to what a buyer of such a new note would be willing to pay (the discount) and what your fee would be. Then the seller could set the terms of the note to abosrb the discount and my fee!
July 20th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Thank you for this great info Russ! My next step will be to use the steps you outlined and find properties offering seller financing and call them to offer my service to get them cash for the note once it is created. If they are interested or not, I will follow-up later. I’m going to get started right away. Thanks again.
May 3rd, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Like I said herein below
I found too many of seller financing in my city, but the properties doesn’t have the income yet[payor].
May 9th, 2010 at 7:30 am
ERIC
Please calm down on having too many! Time will prevail! I wish I had too many. I haven’t gotten my first one yet, but I know it is a matter of time. Note finders are who we are, & we will succeed. Hold your head up, & continue. I am.
May 18th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
Contact the lister with a “hello, I am” type greeting. Tell them what I do and how I may help them sell thier new note.
May 3rd, 2010 at 6:47 pm
post note
May 3rd, 2010 at 11:27 pm
Would the next step be to contact the owner or broker and collect pertinent information on potential deals? If so, what’s the approach for online potentials? Include examples and scripts if available.
May 3rd, 2010 at 11:29 pm
“GITR DONE”!–? pl explain,thanks
May 6th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
Find a method to contact the noteholder, in the most expeditious manner. phone,mail reply via craigslist, just
“GITR DONE”! Then use the “Dalbey Script to List and Post the note; get a few offers via the listing, make the presentation to the Noteholder; close the listing; Collect your check;
Immediately contact Russ
May 3rd, 2010 at 11:49 pm
Thanks for asking this question because that’s what I wanted to know. Another Question, what is “seasoned?” Should we ask this of the person who’s holding the note or just know what it is and determine from there whether it is a note that should be persued or check back at a later time?
Thanks
May 6th, 2010 at 2:33 am
seasoned is when the balance of the note is being paid on a consistent basis preferably 12months is a good time frame for the note to be considered seasoned.
May 11th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
Hello Barbara,
I am so new in this business (only read the basic course.) The word seasoned is referring to how long the Payor has been making the payments to the note holder usually six (6) months before the note is considered seasoned.
I hope this clarified what Seasoned means.
Best of luck to you.

Dear Russ,
Thank you so much.
My next step is to log on find some notes flow in California, and start making money right now.
Sincerely,
Faida
May 4th, 2010 at 12:19 am
I found 39 listings under “sell financing” from
April 3 to May 3 in Houston area.
I need to use my website to post information
to attract whoever has cash to offer the
seller to steal the deal at lower price,
then I can wrap up the deal between them
and earn the difference as profit.
But I do not know how to do it step-by-step.
May 4th, 2010 at 12:19 am
Hi thats really great to have such wonderful out come from craigsist,Your almost there Texas is an outstanding place to locate note holder i figured that out on FindingNotesEasy!!!!!! This Method is Way More Simple
May 5th, 2010 at 9:41 am
neither do I, I would like to know these same thngs step by step. thanks
May 6th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Hello Stanley,
Why do you have to post the information on your website?Just post them on the Note Service for free. Most buyers have the cash & will make an offer.
Good Luck,

Greetings Jill Russo; I am a native Californian, who, for the past ten years, has been living Anchorage, AK. I have just learned about the new “Winning In The Cash Flow Business” website, and have been reading the “Russ Dalbey blog section” all weekend. I just opened up and viewed Russ “Memorial Day message” and started reading the “reply messages” first. I stopped when I read your first reply to someone named Stanley about loading notes from “Craigs List’ onto his own website, and it immediately accurred to me that your the first person, out all the people in the blog section, that I believe has better understanding of how this program works. Well, frankly, I wondered if you woudn’t mind sharing of few aspects of this program, so that I can too can make it work and make some money!I have the “Finding Notes Easy” DVD, and have been dowm to the Anchorage Recorder’s Office, many times; and known one there knows how to find the information the I need to submit each of the notes. Please Advise.
Sincerely,
David Andrew Garcia

Hello David Anthoy Garcia,
After reading you post to me, I would like to remind you about the CD entitled Finding Notes Easy. This CD will get you into any court house in the country without leaving your home. You do not have to do business in the city in which you live. What I found out is once you locate the note in the courthouse how do you contact the owner? More research is involved looking for the contact.One can go to anywho.com or switchboard.com to start looking up the Note Holders.
Hope you find this invormation helpful.
Keep looking up & work work work.
Best regards,
J Russo/California
July 18th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Stanley, you post it on the note network on Russ’s site. You don’t need to use your own website unless you want to. Russ already has investors to buy the notes.
June 7th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
I don’t know
May 4th, 2010 at 12:23 am
Hi Horacio,
I’m a note finder as well, just a tip to get you started. 1.You look on craiglist.org 2.gather up your list that says “seller-financing” 3.call your coaches ask your ? what to do next and they will direct you, that’s what they want you to do(the coaches are there to help). GOOD LUCK
Donna A.
May 5th, 2010 at 9:28 am
Hi Russ—-I think that you would want to contact the owner by phone or mail and find out if he had sold his property yet –if so ask if he or she would be interesting in selling the note to get the cash right away instead of the monthly payments. If not then leave your contact number with them and perhaps call back monthly to see if they had changed their minds and were ready to sell now? Thelma Mitchell
May 4th, 2010 at 12:49 am
The next thing to do is to register on craigslist and start looking for notes being created using for sale by owner. This is going to be helpful, because the leads that was given in the lessons was for people that was making the payments, therefore I’d have to find out who sold the house to them. Thanks a lot for this information. It gives me the inspiration I needed to jump back into the note finding business.
May 4th, 2010 at 1:16 am
The next step is to list the note….
May 4th, 2010 at 1:31 am
Mr. Russ Dalbey this is fascinating!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 1:36 am
I am going to craigslist and start searching the for sale property’s under “seller financing” And start finding note deals and getting the information on them from the soon to be client and submitt a note deal. thanks
May 4th, 2010 at 3:38 am
how do i find out about finding notes from home.
May 12th, 2010 at 4:15 pm
My next step is get on Craigslist and create a list of notes to explore.
May 4th, 2010 at 3:39 am
Go to craigslist.org and find future note deals on the internet now. Search the nearest major city near me and all over the country without leaving my home. Follow steps 1 thru 5. Find seller-financed property for sale.
May 4th, 2010 at 4:50 am
send letters out to the note holder
May 4th, 2010 at 5:07 am
Get in contact with them by sending information,postcards and news letters about seller-financed homes let them know more about what I can do for them.
May 4th, 2010 at 5:13 am
This is great information, but the only buyers I have come across want a seasoned note where the payments have been on-time for over a year. How do I locate a buyer for the note without promising the seller that I have a buyer for their note and for them to go ahead and seller-finance their property?
May 4th, 2010 at 5:34 am
Seem easy enough will start researching
May 4th, 2010 at 5:40 am
I would think that my next move would be to contact these idividuals and let them know what I do. And to let them know how to structure the notes so that they will sell quickly afterwards if its what they want to do. But I’m not sure just what the best way to contact them is. Email? Phone?
May 4th, 2010 at 5:46 am
Marketing oneself to these people as a buyer of notes , phone,and follow up mail for future note deals
May 4th, 2010 at 6:00 am
Go on Craiglist and start looking for cash flow notes right now.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:27 am
You have to contact these people to see if once they make a note, maybe they would rather have all their money now.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:38 am
So simple and easy! Thanks!
May 4th, 2010 at 6:38 am
Contact the note holder.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:41 am
Try to negotiate to by that land with no money down and no payments for 6 months or a year. Hopefully it would be possible to find a buyer for that land in that much of a time and I could get in with no money and I would be able to generate income before my payment would be due on that note.
How does this sound to you?
Best regards,
Sandor
May 4th, 2010 at 6:42 am
Sounds to me like I would need to:
1. Contact the Seller
2. Acquire all necessary information regarding property
3. List it on the Note Network
4. Make MONEY
May 4th, 2010 at 6:44 am
It is a good idea but I saw an add for buying notes too does this mean we can do the same and if so how?
May 4th, 2010 at 6:44 am
what a great idea. i’m also on craigslist but did not think of that. will use it immediately. btw, close to my first deal.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:53 am
Thank you I will do my homework and look for cash flow notes and get some sales
Thank you again Ross
May 4th, 2010 at 6:58 am
Great Idea to build a list of note holders
May 4th, 2010 at 7:05 am
I would respond to that ad, letting them know that once their transaction is complete, I could help them get their hands on their money without having to wait the term of the note.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:10 am
Exellent info! When you locate leads from craigslist how long before should the note age or should we go after it immediatly?
May 4th, 2010 at 7:14 am
I would contact the seller and explain that this seller financed loan could be sold for cash and maybe “suggest” a term and interest rate that would be attractive to a buyer?
May 4th, 2010 at 7:15 am
hi do not know what comes next could you tell me please
May 4th, 2010 at 7:25 am
My experience is that most note buyers are looking for a performing note…my question,”as I am a newbie” is, “What is the best way to market said potential note?”.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Thanks for all the help…I have been signed up for your course, but have not done a deal…my fault. So thanks for sharing how to get started to find note deals on the ‘net — FREE! I also love taking advantage of your tele seminars.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:28 am
get on the internet and make some money
May 4th, 2010 at 7:32 am
i called the customer and explain to them what i do and how i can help him get the cash he or she needs.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
This is phenomonal news will go to craigslist.org to find cash flow notes right away thank you for the good news.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:42 am
Russ I found at least five “seller finance” in Cleveland, Ohio so how do you get started?
May 4th, 2010 at 7:43 am
Hi Sheri,
Call your COACHES that’s what their there for to help us get started.
May 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
Send them a post card telling them what I can help them do with that note.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:44 am
Hi Russ,
This is an excellent suggestion. I will take action today.
Thanks,
Larry
May 4th, 2010 at 7:53 am
I guess it is “do it.”
May 4th, 2010 at 7:56 am
find the persons e-mail and send them your website
contact them through craigslist by phone to let them know what you can do for them.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:56 am
Thanks Russ your awsome!
No doubt the next is to get on the internet
or craigslist and began my search!
May 4th, 2010 at 7:57 am
Thanks again for your input. I just checked out Craig’s list the other day for properties in this area of the country. Yes, it is necessary to check the listings out a little further some times.
Thanks again for your help.
May 4th, 2010 at 7:58 am
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I will check it out right now.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:11 am
Great info Thanks Russ!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 8:14 am
Hello Mr. Dalbey, i pray that God Almighty keep blessing that cash flow mind of yours, because you are really trying to help others. i want waste time because i haven’t made a dime yet in this business so i am going to work these steps now. God bless you and thanks for all you do.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:15 am
thank you
May 4th, 2010 at 8:18 am
We should contact the property seller and offer to sell the cash flow note after the property sells.

take down the seller’s info and call him/her to see property was sold and if they are interested in selling that note.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:32 am
This is very helpful never would have thought to look there. Tons of them can you do ones that say For sale by agent/broker. Very excited to start finding and contacting. Thank you so much!
May 4th, 2010 at 8:38 am
contact the seller.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Ive known about this cash flow business for many years now but never had the money for one of your weekend classes or the knowledge to do this on my own. But finally today a small light bulb has turned on. Im not sure what to do next but i would love to hear more.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:40 am
I’ll send the seller an e-mail, saying we can help him get the cash he needs.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:44 am
once i have found seller financing property what do i do next
May 4th, 2010 at 8:44 am
I think is a very good way to find note
May 4th, 2010 at 8:46 am
Next step would be to contact seller and set up the deal?
I have not done any yet so I am not sure.
Still working on my first deal.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:53 am
I haven’t got the first clue what to do or where to put information
May 4th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Hi,
Just read your books the info is there telling you step by step what to do.
May 7th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I think the next step would be to look up the seller, and get the phone number, call him/her and discuss the option of setting up the note, all the information needed, and getting a free quote on the note pay-off.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:02 am
Hi–Russ sorry for not answering most of your e-mail. Now these e-mail i got from you this morning got my attention. No money need it, Ha- Now about this craigslist ad. I look in to it and I found quite a list from home owners sellers. How do I approach them? Do I e-mail them or call them? What is the best approach. thank you very much.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Had website in beginning have not done anything with it. I have been going through cancer treatment.I’m finally finished with chemo treatments and radiation treatments. I still have a few things left going on with that,but I believe now I will be able to finally get in to this type of work. Still don’t have lots of money to invest,however I do have some.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:12 am
contact the seller and see if they would be interested in working out a note deal with me.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:15 am
iwould post a postcard information on his site to get info on how he can get his property sold faster and easy.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:15 am
The next step is….”Go girl go!!!” Thanks for the tip, Russ!
May 4th, 2010 at 9:16 am
The next step might be to contact that lead.
And explain to them my situation in being able
to help them when they have the note being able
to turn it into cash.
Really great info. today. Thank you for sharing
this valuable tip.

May 4th, 2010 at 9:18 am
Hi, what do i do when i find the seller, do i send them to my website and thats it and just wait for a responce.
WP
May 4th, 2010 at 9:23 am
I am a newbie to this business, but I actually have been doing this.
Craigslist ads list their contact information- email and/or phone. The next step is to undoubtably contact the future note holder.
If they don’t know what a Note Finder is, I explain how I can help get them money shortly after the close of escrow. I also like to get a physical mailing address so that I can send my contact information along with a letter they can stick in their file (for future reference.)
It’s great to have a physical address for future follow-up too, since ads generally disapear out of a system after a set number of days. Websites such as Craigslist also disguise the user’s email address so once the ad is taken down, “Poof”.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:27 am
thank you for your e-mails they are a continued source of inspiration and learning THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 9:28 am
when i find these seller do i try to make a deal
May 4th, 2010 at 9:30 am
My homework would be to contact the owner.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Send a reply, to the seller.
Explaining that we have a network of investors willing to make an offer for promissory notes.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:31 am
This is exactly what I’ve been doing! this is encouraging, I’m glad it is a suggested method of contact. Ive been using Craigslist and Linkedin. Most of the ads are from the agents representing the seller so my subject says “your craigslist ad” and the message similar to this follows:
“Your ad on Craigslist stated the seller may carry. I work with Investors seeking to purchase such notes. If it is your Seller’s preference to receive all cash as appose to carrying a note, please forward my information. Let me know if you run across Seller financed properties regularly.”
I have not gotten a deal but i have gotten responses that may build relationships for later. They may very well be future deals just like you stated.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Wow! I’ve been reading over your responses and I’m blown away by all your ideas.
However, I want everyone to pay SPECIAL attention to what Tony is doing. (Tony’s comment is right above mine.)
I LOVE that he’s already taking action on this idea.
And I LOVE that he’s sharing the exact script/email he uses to contact people offering seller-financing on the internet.
Keep it up Tony!
May 4th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
So Russ, what did you think about the comments on note buyers generally wanting “seasoned” notes, with a year or more on-time payment history? If this is the case, then the Craigslist method will only provide seed leads for recontacting in six, nine, or twelve months’ time. Correct?
May 4th, 2010 at 11:47 pm
Hi Jim B.
“seasoned” notes aren’t always the case. A lesson I watched & read, showed how with 10 to 20 % down & 8 to 10 % interest on the monthly payment, could get a buyer quickly! There is already Equity on the property, & they have years of income coming to them. I’m still trying this approach. No calls back yet, but makes alot of sense to me. Patience is a virtue!
Don’t give up, find that lesson again, and hear what it says & reread it again. Best of Luck.

May 20th, 2010 at 4:35 pm

May 5th, 2010 at 10:23 am
Contact that individual and offer your services as a note finder, to help him sell his note.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:32 am
Send a postcard,then follow-up
by phone call.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:41 am
Great way to get started and to keep going..
May 4th, 2010 at 9:58 am
I am heading to Craiglist right now!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 10:03 am
Thanks Russ for the tip. My next step is to go to craigslist and find some motivated note holders.

Well, I believe the next step would me to email a response to those ads that includes my ability assist with seller financing options. If I were savvy enough, I could…
A wise thing to do would be to…
Oh, boy, Russ…I gotta start from the beginning. (Ha ha)

May 4th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Ihave not yet tried graigslist yet but will try very soon thank you
May 4th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Russ,
thank you so much. I wish I would have thought of this!
May 4th, 2010 at 10:17 am
Go to find them Online and get started
May 4th, 2010 at 10:17 am
next step start searching on craigslist
May 4th, 2010 at 10:31 am
Just go do it!
May 4th, 2010 at 10:32 am
Send the note holder my website address and let
the note holder know we buy mortgage notes.But how do I do that ?
May 4th, 2010 at 10:34 am
Once you locate them do you have to wait until the property is sold or create a note and sell it. Then the owner can sell the property as an assumption.
May 4th, 2010 at 10:48 am
Home sellers & Investors!
If you are tying to sell you property using a “for sale by owner” or
“owner financing deal”, did you know that you can sell your payments
for a lump sum of cash?
I will give you a free quote!
If you are receiving payments for property and want to sell those
payments I can help free!
May 4th, 2010 at 10:58 am
Add the seller to your markleting list
May 4th, 2010 at 10:59 am
I THANK AND APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION AND WILL PUT IT TO USE. I’VE NEVER BEEN ON ANY TYPE OF WEBSITE LIKE CRAIGSLIST AND WILL PROCEED TO LOG ON TO THAT SITE. HOPE TO POST A NOTE SOON. THANK YOU.
May 4th, 2010 at 11:10 am
ALSO THANKS FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT.
May 4th, 2010 at 11:11 am
Intoduce myself and explain that I am a “Note Finder”, who refers notes secured by property to “Note Buyers”. Offer a free no obligation quote on how much his or her monthly payments are worth today. Why wait 20 years or more for your money when you can get it all at once in a matter of days!
May 4th, 2010 at 11:24 am
Our next step is to DO IT
Thank you for all the guidance and tips.
This enhances the belief and excitement levels this business has a great mentorship system!!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 11:24 am
G0 to craigslist.org & get busy finding notes!
Thanks for the info.
May 4th, 2010 at 11:36 am
To pray then take the initiative.
May 4th, 2010 at 11:38 am
The next thing to do is contact the note holder’ to see if they are interested in selling.
May 4th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Go to craigs list and find some notes!
May 4th, 2010 at 11:49 am
check out Craigslist
May 4th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Get in touch with the seller and let them know we can purchase the note and get them the cash they need immediately.
May 4th, 2010 at 12:00 pm
contact them & follow-up with those listings let them know how you can help them
May 4th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Get busy checking it out. Thanks William Cole
May 4th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
I would like to contact the Sellers of the property and let them know that I work with a group of buyers who are interested in purchasing payments secured by real estate.
When they sell their property, they may contact me or I will follow up with them and simply ask if they would like to receive a free, no-obligation quote on how much their monthly payments are worth today.
Package up all the needed information and submit it to buyers for purchase.
May 4th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
GO TO WWW. CRAIGSLIST.COM AND LOOK FOR SELLER-FINANCING CASH FLOW DEAL AND START CONTACTING THEM –SOUNDS EASY I AM GOING TO TRY RIGHT NOW. THANKS!
May 4th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Thank you for another way of locating notes from my house.
Go to craigslist and enter the nearest major city look for property that says “seller financing”.
May 4th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
I would send them a post card or a letter telling that I was a note finder.
May 4th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
Good stuff, thanks for the help.
May 4th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
do you have to wait until the seller finds a buyer and a note created before we go in and offer the seller cash for the note?
May 4th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
Contact the person that made the posting and see if he/she would like to receive a lump sum for their future payments, after he/she has made a sale.
May 4th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
in conjunction with your ad “on how to find notes on the net,i just posted my ad on craigs list and i received a response, now i will have to contact
your office with the details on how to work with this person i will have to call your office,if you were to see my ad and read their response then you would know why i have to call your office.
syretha
May 4th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
I am going to contact them either by phone or send them a postcard and let them know how I can get cash for them once they have sold the property.
May 4th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
I have tried this many times in different areas could not get any feedback I still keep trying but have yet to get results?
May 4th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
After reviewing the seller’s information, I would contact the seller and introduce myself as a “Cash Flow Note” entrpeneur who can list her cash note for a buyer where the Original deal of selling the land could result in cash in hand for the seller instead of Having to Carry a note.
May 4th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
This is one of the best things that you have done so far. I am not computer savey; however, I am a quick learner; and, you bet, I will be checking for notes in this manner along with the other methods that I am still trying to success.
Thanks,
Geraldine Roberts
May 4th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
contact the seller
May 4th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
get on a computer & go to craiglists.org & follow your instructions for “seller financing” which is another term for “cash flow notes”. Thank You, Russ because i did not know that. i will be following your instructions.
May 4th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I USE CRAIGSLIST ALL THE TIME NOW I KNOW HOW TO SHORTEN MY SEARCH THANKS THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
I USE CRAIGSLIST ALL THE TIME NOW IT CAN BE DONE IN LESS TIME . I GOT 13 CALLS TODAY !! THIS IS AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!
May 4th, 2010 at 1:45 pm
Great job Richard! Keep it up!
And don’t forget to contact my coaches if you need any help. They are here for you.
May 4th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
THANKS FOR THE TIP ITS GOING TO MAKE ME ALOT OF $$$$$$
May 4th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
That’s simply amazing but how can I as a note broker take advantage of this?
May 4th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Call that person that has seller financing and tell them you can help them get rid of that note that they are creating.
May 4th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
They give an E-mail address so send them a letter explaining what you can do for them & offer to give them a quote for their note.
May 4th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
thank you russ for the business opportunity.
the homework is to go to craigslist and contact the property owners.
May 4th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
I do not know the next step. There are seller finance properties like you said.
Any assistance in my next move will be appreicated.
Thanks.
May 4th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
I’m off and running. Thank you so much.
May 4th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
find some notes!
May 4th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
IM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT.IM INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT THOUGH,I DONT HAVE A WEB SITE I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO PRODUCE ONE.
May 4th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Great way to find future note deals, but how are we supposed to know when to contact the seller to propose selling their note? And if I remember right, aren’t the note buyers looking for seasoned notes? I’m still new at this so I’m just looking for answers. Anything helps.
May 4th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
I will use craigslist to find sellers that would like to have their cash up front rather than receiving monthly payment, by finding a note buyer for the property.
May 4th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
what shell I do? I will do what ever I can to
get started, I am ready.
William
May 4th, 2010 at 5:36 pm
I will get the name of the seller and call them or send them an e-mail,postcard,etc. and let them know how I can get them cash for their note once it is created.Thank you Russ for this information, I am excited to get on craigslist so I’m going there now.
May 4th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
I certainly will try Craigslist! Thanks for the info. Carol Hawk
May 4th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
As usual, follow your direction, step by step!
May 4th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
Next step would be to contact the seller and see if he has sold the property yet and if he hasn’t, talk to him about how to write a contract that will be easy to sell to the investors – with the right interest rate, the right amount of a down payment etc.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Well I haven’t found my first note yet so this is great news. I think I should contact the future noteholder and give some information about why I’m calling and have them call me once the note has been established.
May 4th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
I have use your plan from Craig list.And I have posted a note on the notenetwork.com
The ideas are very good one’s
May 4th, 2010 at 8:21 pm
Contact Them! Tell them you find notes for a group of investors interested in purchasing their notes.Give them your name and number.Call me if you want a lump sum of money for them.
May 4th, 2010 at 8:34 pm
It seems like this might be a good opportunity to make a friend, starting with maybe a newsletter or other informative material about me and what i do, followed up with perhaps a phone call to answer their questions, if any. Then I would ask them questions, depending on what I might want to know about the property and the area in general. Maybe they have other properties that they hold notes on, or they might know of other sellers in the area. My tone would be professional, but casual, leading the conversation in whichever direction i might deem best, but not like I was conducting an intereview.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Time to get busy !!!
Thanks
May 4th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
You have a potential market right there. Your next move is to contact those potential note holders and/or sellers.Introduce yourself by phone or mail. Educate them on how they can benefit from your services. You may strike good note deals and /or find potential customers. Those who are not willing to sell right now, give them your contact information, and make occasional follow-ups.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:29 pm
The next step would be to call or send postcards to these people and notify them that if they sell their house you could help them sell the note that they create. This way they wont have to wait 25-30 years for their money.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:46 pm
Using whatever information is given, I will contact the seller and let him know who I am and how I may be able to assist him in realizing present cash for his note if he decides to take back a mortgage in the process of getting rid of the property.
May 4th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
What a simple yet great marketing idea. Thanks for the tip,
Russ.
May 5th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Good Evening Russ, Thanks for the advice, I am going to put my business card on Craigs List. It reads GET CASH NOW! With a hand holding a bunch of fifty dollar bills and says “I can get you cash for your private mortages, trust deeds and land contracts.” I put my website on also, I think this will bring me some good leads….Have a good evening Rudy K……
May 4th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Looks like I need to first set up my website then get info from noteholders and transfer that info to your NoteNetwork. I know I’m being naive but it just can’t be that simple. Is it?
May 4th, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Thanks Russ, thats not hard at all.
Now I need to know exactly what steps to take after I have picked out some offers to work with.
I picked out 5 offers with
” possible owner financing” What is the best approach at this point?
PLEASE REPLY, THANKS.
May 4th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
The next step would be to record the noteholder contact information and then follow the real estate ad to see if it has sold.
What I’m stuck on is to whether wait some months and then contact the note holder? or Contact them as soon as you see the land/house has been sold.
Equity and Seasoning are both important factors to take into account as a not finder.
May 5th, 2010 at 12:02 am
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
May 5th, 2010 at 2:10 am
Hello from one of the “night owls”–Great info! I would call them up and offer to help them to get the cash they want now rather than wait years for the payments to trickle in. I would tell them I am a liason to investors who buy seller-financed notes that are secured by real estate. Then I would explain how to create a note that would be attractive to buyers at the best price. Easy as that!
May 5th, 2010 at 2:12 am
Russ;Went to both sites Craigslist, and Nu Wire Investor for the article on seller financing and found it to be very informitive and very interesting. I’m going to try the Craigslist. Thank-you;Grateful; Roy & Rose Hawkins
May 5th, 2010 at 2:34 am
That is a good way to find future notes. I checked it out and there are some good future notes out there.
May 5th, 2010 at 5:32 am
Call and explain “Simultaneous Closing”.
May 5th, 2010 at 6:38 am
leave my contact numbers/email on their contact me site and explain what I do and how I can help them get their money for their future payments.
May 5th, 2010 at 6:56 am
mr.dalbey, iread everything i would love to get started as soon as i can .i did not understand how the notes work when i find them do i send them to you ar callthem in. when can i get started and u said it is free do u pay later when y make some money.
May 5th, 2010 at 7:12 am
Hi Develma,
You get started by, generating your list off of craiglist, then call your coach and they will direct you on what to do next or even how to get in touch with them and sometimes what to say when you get in touch. I hope that helps, GOOD LUCK.
May 5th, 2010 at 11:01 am
I have to agree with Larissa, most buyers want seasoned deals. You have to contact the prospective note holder and explain that you may not be able to help until the note is seasoned for at least 6 months to a year.
May 5th, 2010 at 7:15 am
YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE NOTE SELLER, AN TELL THEM YOU CAN GET THEM CASH FOR THERE NOTE!!! AFTER THEY THINK ABOUT THAT THEY WILL WANT TO MAKE A NOTE A LITTLE FASTER.
May 5th, 2010 at 8:13 am
contact person and explain my services give phone number and website follow up
May 5th, 2010 at 8:22 am
My next step will be to follow the steps you have given us. Thank you so much.
May 5th, 2010 at 8:39 am
Find them, list them, and make money
May 5th, 2010 at 8:55 am
Dear Russ,
I use Craig’s list and other sites all the time. I have been successful in the past, but I need the training of the Guru
May 5th, 2010 at 9:10 am
Hello Russ I know you have been trying to reach me and I’m glad to get on this sight. Russ I have a friend that own houses and he’s trying to get rid of the notes, tell me what to do next and I can go from there and be successful in doing this program, I’m tired of meeting dead ends.
May 5th, 2010 at 9:20 am
Hi Gary,
I’m a finder also, if you don’t know what to do next call your coach,tell them your problem and they will direct you on what to do next. That’s a deal waiting to happen. GOOD LUCK.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:51 am
I contact investors and invite them to work with me. They forward my information or I contact the seller. I introduce my services, obtain visuals of the property, contact the note holders I know, or I obtain motivated buyers who pay on an installment basis, or I arrange to obtain the property on an installment payment or rent to own situation.
I use Craig’s list and other sites all the time.
However, I need the training of a Guru. That is why I continue to receive your emails to indicate my continued interest in your course.
May 5th, 2010 at 9:34 am
i think that the next step would have to be that all of us being note finders we log on the craigslist and find those future notes and we start taking action and be where we need to be in this biz.
May 5th, 2010 at 9:57 am
Listen,, I found five (5) advertized FSBO,seller financing on in the craig listing that could be profitable if the sale is made and the note produced, but I need help with the proper wording of the initial contact with the seller.
Could someone give me a suggestion of a workable approach please. These possible notes have not been produced yet, Thanks.
May 5th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Willie,
Check out comment #77. There is a great script one of our fellow notefinders uses in this situation all laid out in his comment.
Hope that helps,
Kevin
May 22nd, 2010 at 3:18 pm

May 5th, 2010 at 10:32 am
Dear Russ,
Thank you for the information regarding Cragslist. I will go to the site and contact every one who is selling “Owner Financing”.
I would also like to know where do I look for
“seasoned” Cash Flow Notes?
I appreciate you help.
Regards,
Val
May 5th, 2010 at 10:38 am
I WILL MAKE 5,000DOLLARS MY FIRST DEAL JUN, 24;2010 THANKS GRANT;
May 5th, 2010 at 11:14 am
Thanks for the steps.I am presently sick and can do this by the internet. What are my next steps. I am ready.
May 5th, 2010 at 11:39 am
Hi Russ, My next step is to do the same thing that Tony Conner is doing and also post an ad on Craigslist. Thanks everyone for sharing and caring as we all fly to the top!!!
May 5th, 2010 at 1:08 pm
The next step is to contact the holder of said property and find out if they have sold yet,and are now holding a note and/or find out if they may have any other properties or know of anyone else with a note they may be willing to receive future money now istead of waiting for slow payments.
Thank you for the info Russ. I will drive this home hard.
May 5th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
ok i found some notes but do i need to put in the address and phone number or just the phone number how do contact them and is all the information corect.how do i know if i made a deal or not.
May 5th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
well I’m going to give it a try. i just need to find a way to list them.I have found the notes just need to be able to list them through the mail.I spend a least two hours or more looking for notes just need to know if i should just send in some with the information that i have .I write down all my notes that i find just need to list them with note buyers.can you tear down the brick wall.
May 5th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Hi Russ
Thank for the tip. Will check it out.In the progress of moving to a new home in the next two weeks. Lots of packing to due.
May 5th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
Thank You Russ for the tip on craigslist I’ll
be doing a followup on that tip. Also I’ll be reviewing the course again so I’ll know what steps to take. I realize this is a numbers game
the more note holders I contact the potential
for close more deals is greatly enhanced!!!
May 5th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Thanks you for this great info Russ. Now,I’m about to follow these steps to see if there will be a closing. I DIDN’T HAVE MY WEBSITE @ HAND. THANKS AGAIN
May 5th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Russ
Never heard of the List! Thanks To You I Now Have More Insight, on WHAT! to do FOR the Outsight!Simple, USE IT & DO IT!Thank You Russ!
Lance
May 5th, 2010 at 6:01 pm
my next step is to go the sight and find the future notes and get to work
May 5th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
the next step would be to get intouch with a seller.
May 5th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
thank you for all the insite you,ve given us.
May 5th, 2010 at 7:02 pm
Hi Russ, thanks for the tips. I really appreciate any help you can share regarding this business. I am still very new at this and I am still learning. I think using craigslist sounds very easy and I will start right away. I am not sure exactly what to tell the seller and what would be the best way to contact him. Please help!
May 5th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
It looks simple,enough.The note will take awhile for it to be seasoned,but it will in time. To have the first eye on the note, before hand,will be a plus.
May 5th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
I think Gwen is onto something; I would contact the seller, explain that as soon as the note is seasoned, I would be able to help them convert the note to cash. And then…stay in touch.
May 5th, 2010 at 8:03 pm
i will certainly give this a try. i’m still excited about what’s going to happen in my note business
May 5th, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Start note searching for my first note deal.
May 5th, 2010 at 9:15 pm
The next step is to get busy and get it done!
May 5th, 2010 at 9:42 pm
Contact them, tell them what you do and ask them(since they are advertising seller financing it could mean they may already be carrying notes) if they are currently carrying notes they would like to get rid of, or if they know anyone that has notes and let them know if in the future they come across a note or an immediate need for cash arose, to please contact you and send them a business card with a dollar bill wrapped around it. They will think it’s weird at first but they will remember you and your offer.
May 5th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
My next step is to go and find a note deal that says’”seller financing,” contact the property owners,introduce myself and tell them what I do.I’ll wait for a response to see if they are interested and if they are,then I will get the information that is needed and list it and wait for a response from the buyer and take the price offer back to the seller and if they except then my deal is locked in.I’ll just sit and wait for my first check. Thank you Russ for that important information!!
May 5th, 2010 at 11:12 pm
It’s 12:30 am and I have just read your blog. I am going to Craig’s list now.
Thanks for the info.
Patrick Pease,
May 5th, 2010 at 11:34 pm
I will be callimg tomorrow about the RAPID RESULTS . It is about 10:18pm here and I will have to until tomorrow to call. I really need this ,because once I get through the first one, the rest or next one will be a breeze to do too. Will be calling tomorrow ,first thing. Thank-you And God Bless you and your’s. Roy & Rose Hawkins
May 5th, 2010 at 11:36 pm
Russ, this is awesome. It’s free!
May 6th, 2010 at 4:50 am
Thank you Russ
Never would have thought of using craiglist for finding notes.I am going to craiglist now and see what I can find.I hope to get my first deal soon. Thank you
William
May 6th, 2010 at 6:15 am
Thank-you Russ, I am beginning a little late, but I am feeling a bit more confortable with your program and my availability. I am very enthusiastic about climbing on board, and appreciative with your patience and overflowing knowledge that can make me a “winner”.
I have had contact with a few of your Specialists who have guaranteed me all the help I ever need. I will feel very comfortable about that, while I am doing what I enjoy most; searching and finding “cash flow notes”.
To answer your question Russ, I am going to find as many “notes” as I can on the internet, and I have also been checking “local real estate. I will gather as many as I can, contact one of your “coaches”, and continue Praying.
It would be nice to have a few substantial “notes”, could always use a good “confidence boost” as one of the “new kids” on the block!
Thanking you again…..
May 6th, 2010 at 6:50 am
Hi Russ
Than you ask are they receiving payments on a property they recently sold and we can give them a free no obligation quote on the cash value on their money.
May 6th, 2010 at 9:43 am
I typed “seller-financing” and didn’t get a result in the area where I live, but where I put “for sale by owner” in, I got a much better result! Just thought I would pass it on in case someone else had the same initial response. Thanks Russ I was having some difficulty trying to find the best way to go about this! This is great advice!
May 6th, 2010 at 10:20 am
GR8 idea… I am on it! Can’t wait to use this.
May 6th, 2010 at 10:34 am
great post as usual!
May 6th, 2010 at 10:54 am
Thankyou, for the open door, send us more!
May 6th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Greetings Russ,
Thank you for the tip! I am ready to start researching.
Have a beautiful day!
Lori
May 6th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
what does seasoned mean
May 6th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
It means the note has been active for around a year and the payments have been paid in full and on time as agreed. Regrds
May 6th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
I think it is a good idea. I also think the next step is to contact them and see if they want a lump sum of money.
May 6th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Greeting Russ,
Thanks for the info,very helpful. I’m speaking that we will find notes real soon. Walking by faith.
May 6th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Thanks Russ,
I think the next step would be to contact the seller and once he sells, inquire if he would he rather have cash “now” instead of payments and offer to link him/her to a buyer. I’d follow up to confirm he sold…
May 6th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
here we go….to craigs list
May 6th, 2010 at 6:35 pm
Very good suggestion,
May 6th, 2010 at 6:48 pm

I will defintely go to craig’s list; look for some notes and contact my coach and follow his or her direction
May 6th, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Next step is to “find’Em,list Em and make money”. Im just now going to do just that. I have an awesome great feeling about this business. Tons of Thanks to you Russ plus Thank heaven for Russ Dalbey’s great mind and for all your time in helping others live life as it should be lived.
May 6th, 2010 at 9:54 pm
Thanks for the information, but now I need to speak with seller and begin process. This will be my first ever contact, so I will need assistance to make sure that I do everything correctly.
May 6th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
I tried all kinds of ideas and wasn’t successful. Then I did as you said and I got a call the very next day. I know I’ll find a note deal now. Do you have any more good ideas? Thanks Russ.
May 6th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
Thanks Russ, now I just need to do it!and belive in my self.I knows my day it fell in with people all day long, I shoud not have any truble,at all right? wrong! I’m still going out and will find or looking for NOTES…..Again Russ, thanks a buch!!!!!!!!Pon,Mcdaniel
May 7th, 2010 at 12:42 am
I would contact him and tell him that we can help him structure the note so in the near future, if he decides to sell it, in about a year or less, it will be a note that’s attractive to the buyers we have. Call coaching for help in setting it up, make sure he knows your name and keep in touch every 2 months.
May 7th, 2010 at 11:55 am
Thanks for the help Russ.
May 7th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
I don’t have a Website as now,but soon and oh,Yea i am going Graigslist this weekend and see what I can find, Vicki
May 7th, 2010 at 12:26 pm
My next step is to go and find a note deal. Contact the property owners,introduce myself and tell them what I do. If they are in what I do I will get the information, list it and wait for a response from the buyer. I will then take price offer back to seller. If they like it and except it my deal is locked in.Thank you Russ for tthis information.
May 7th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
go look for moore
May 7th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Russ: Went to county courthouse, only to find they have no recorder’s department at all. Only recorder’s department in this area is the county assessor’s office. Will be going there 5-10-10 to see what I can find there. Still can’t afford Rapid Results yet! But don’t give up on me just yet! Still working on everything very hard. Will you later. Thank-you! Grateful, God bless!! Roy & Rose Hawkins
May 7th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
AWSOME! I have been looking in the newspaper, but this is even better. Hope to get my 1ST note deal!!!
May 8th, 2010 at 11:43 am
Of all the tips that you have given through emails, this has been the best one. I will look through the local papers in the real estate section and look for seller financing and then send out post cards to sellers about the business. Thanks.
May 8th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
my next step is to go to craigslist,and get started finding possable notes.and make contact
with the seller, let them know what I offer.
them list them. and wait for my first check.
thank you.

Hi Russ – Craigs List was not on our view finder –
We had not even thought of that as a method of finding notes. We thank you for your guidance and will keep you informed of our progress – so keep an ear to the ground. You, and your coaches are a big help to us as we make our way to the top.

Hi Russ,this is a great idea.
Am going to give a try right away.
May 9th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
When you find a note on graigslist the next best thing to do is try to get the note holders info and give them a call I am sure they will be interested because they are already ready to sell and if they are having problems finding people to sell to thats where u come in and make their day and your thank you so much for everything Russ I am hoping to make my first deal real soon.
May 9th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
I am posting ads regularly on that site and at r.e. services site for note sellers,also looking at fsbo sites elsewhere on the web for contacts.I feel a little silly for not thinking to look there considering how often I am there anyway.My search begins now and I will mention it when I call a coach tomorrow,Monday 10th a.m. with my other inquiries.Thanks! Jon
p.s. Next step is to contact them a.s.a.p!
May 9th, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Russ
Thanks for the additional tips. I “ditto” many of the remarks posted to you, which make me smile as I feel the same way about blessing you and all the info you share with us. I feel I will succeed and will not give up. Using craigslist. Thanks.

WHAT A GOLDMINE!!! Thanks for the tip! I found treasure on Craigs list! A small development, 11 pads, exclusive and gated. Free & clear on Seller Financing with a good downpayment! I’m contacting agent as we speak. Eureka!!! I struck gold!
May 9th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
IT’S A GOLDMINE! I’m immediately sending newsletter to agent handling listing for, “free & clear” w/ seller financing in exclusive gated community with 11 pads ready for development! THANKS FOR THE GIFT…IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE MY BIRTHDAY WEEK! There was lots more on Craigs list as well… EUREKA!
May 10th, 2010 at 10:14 am
I would call the seller and tell him that I am a real estate note finder. And when he sells his real estate with seller financing he has created a real estate note and real estate notes can be sold for cash fast and easy. I have a list of buyers right now. So I am here for you. At any time you decide to sell your note for cash please let me know. And I will help you sell your note for the best price.
May 10th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Starting my search on Craigslist tomorrow!
May 10th, 2010 at 10:18 pm
Hello Russ
Thank you for your info. you are the best.
The next step is to:find a note
contact the holder
list it
make money
May 11th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
I bought the course, but i do not really understand how this business works, I read the books like for 4 times, I watched the CDs and I see everybody doing the money so easly that I do not understand the way. For eg.: suppose that i find the notes on craig list, what do I do next?, call the person that is financing the property?, what do i suppose to tell them?, how do I get to an agreement that could garantee that when i find the person interested in the property, and that person buys the property i will get my money? i do not understand how this works.
May 11th, 2010 at 1:30 pm
i am finding alot of property in the “seller financing” in my area of FL but some say by broker and some say by owner, does it matter and do i care if seller financing is what is happening.
May 11th, 2010 at 3:57 pm

May 14th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
send them a prospective future client letter letting them know that your service is available , basically start to gain trust with that person and let him or her know what you do and that you can cash him out once he or she has created the note the first city i went to i saw a real estate holder in California trying to sell by seller financing i on a property he was selling as is
May 15th, 2010 at 1:08 pm

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU… to get on the web and work it.
May 16th, 2010 at 12:54 am
I’m brand new, this is my first visit to Russ’ blog and BOY OH BOY!!! I am SO excited! I love the idea of perusing Craig’s List and agree with allowing the contract to become seasoned.
May 16th, 2010 at 4:28 pm
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again soon!
May 17th, 2010 at 12:14 am
Thanks for the advise, craigslist, cool!!!
May 17th, 2010 at 3:47 pm
Russ,
I went on Craigs List and followed what to do with your email you sent me. When I click on the listing what do I do next? How is the note created? Do I have to spend money to get the note?
Please advise,
Sincerely,
Tony Riccardo
May 18th, 2010 at 2:03 am
I am on Craigslist all the time…..never thought of this great!
May 18th, 2010 at 7:28 am
Russ I have found sale by owner Seller Finance some have call back and other I have not heard from. I am waiting to hear from one customer to get back to me. I have left messages no return reply. I do not think she will call because she keep saying “I have not look at the website”. I know she is not the decision maker someone else. I must continue search until find the individual who would say yes and provide all information to submit on form. I am also learning many people do not clearly understand the power of Seller Finance only in certain circle among your Title Company, Elite Banks,and Mortgage Company who do Seller Finance. Reality Brokers try to redirect seller from this option of saling their property. In words they try to block it by telling the client it not the best option for saling the property. Many time Seller Finance is better because the Seller can get what he ask’s for his/her needs and conditions for their situations.
May 18th, 2010 at 8:25 am
Russ
Great info. What do I need to do further when I was Told by an owner that had a property He wanted to sell, I’m not interested in selling in any way but cash. will not seller finance, or contract sale? I believe calling back, later, may be the right thing to do? Just wants his $425,000 home in NY bought.
May 18th, 2010 at 4:16 pm
I have been re-energized by this information for how to find notes on Craigs list and I am now going to forge forward. I have no idea what has been holding me back because I could see from the beginning that this is a workabe endeavor if you stick to it. I am going to stick to it, I have nothing to lose.
May 19th, 2010 at 1:46 am
I have been contacting fsbo and introducing them to simultaneous closings. They have ALL been interested. I haven’t had anyone actually done this yet. Fingers crossed!
May 19th, 2010 at 7:22 am
I would like to send fsbo’s a newsletter on seller
finacing. However, notice the “it is not ok to
contact this poster with services or other commercial interest” at the botton of the
real estate listings.
Comments??
May 20th, 2010 at 11:49 am
Russ,
I believe all the notes found in Craigslist, according to what I’ve learned from you and staff, do more homework, more info/details, any questions call your staff, Oh! of course the owner……….
May 20th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
THIS IS A GOLD MIND IN ALL FIFTY STATES. THANKS FOR THE INFO
VICTOR
May 20th, 2010 at 6:14 pm
go see what i can find
May 20th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Hi, Mr.Dalbey. After following your advice during this blog I have found a few “seller financing” in my area. Ok, now is there a difference between seller by broker and seller by owner? And, will this effect me. Also, what is the next step after I have found the note? Do I have to personally talk to the person who is holding the note? If so, then what do I say? Once that is done, how do I create the valid paperwork? Well, I am asking for all the steps. If this works out then I would have no problems giving you a cut of the profit. It’s the lease I can do for you!!!
Thank you again Mr. Dalbey,
-Bob
May 22nd, 2010 at 2:22 am
contact the note holder, with a greeting, tell them who i’am, and explain to them what I do and how I can , help them sell their note.
May 22nd, 2010 at 11:13 am
Suppose you’re looking for specific notes in certain states and at certain balances, where would you advertise this?
May 22nd, 2010 at 9:30 pm
So I have a question. I came across a website where people list notes they have for sale. One of these notes was a commercial property. My question is, if I refer this note, is anyone buying notes secured by a commercial property?
Anyones input would be of help.
Also thanks for the great article. I have already found a couple of notes on craigslist.
Thanks!
May 25th, 2010 at 9:41 am
Thank you Russ for the info it really helps although i have to admit that i have been down in the dumps but your helpful advice is what i need to pull myself out of the hole. So i am going to read the entire plan again diligently and get to work. Hoping to meet and greet you one fine day, it’ll be good to shake your hand.
May 25th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
This sounds like a great start. I would think practice makes perfect. I think locating notes in my area would be a great start., This adds to my excitement of achieviung my GOALS OF 150K BEFORE 2011.
May 26th, 2010 at 7:59 am
Mr. Dalbey when i locate the ‘Note holder and he and I talking and i get things mess up or confuse, can i call someone for help before losing the “note holder? Thanks
May 26th, 2010 at 9:30 am
I am going onto craigslist right now! THanks a million!
May 26th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
This is one of the best way to fine notes deal think you.I be looking for more all this information is very helpful.Think you very much
May 26th, 2010 at 7:16 pm

Singed,
Curious

May 30th, 2010 at 10:49 am
Good journey and experience!
May 30th, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Russ,
I’m surprised that you endorse Craig’s List. Perhaps you aren’t aware of all the scams steming from Craig’s List.
May 31st, 2010 at 11:31 am
Good idea Russ
May 31st, 2010 at 12:16 pm
Hi Russ, Happy Memorial Day. I Like the ideal of using craig list, will look into it right away. My wife and I really want to get our note businedd going. Have A Nice Day…Rudy K.
May 31st, 2010 at 1:06 pm
I am not sure what to do with the info when I get it but I think this will be the closest I have been to getting something going

I use Craigs list alot. Will try it for this. thanks alot.
May 31st, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Russ Freedom is like life it’s self and like breathing air.WE come to depend on it and wouldn’t know what to do without it. And I want to say I enjoy everything you send to me in your letters.I want to try your idea with useing CraigsList to find notes. thanks curtis
May 31st, 2010 at 8:57 pm
Freedom it means Iam proud to be an American where the land a live is free. I honor all the soldiers who died for us to have freedom I honor veterans who served and soldiers who are serving now.
June 1st, 2010 at 1:18 pm
hi Russ glad read your blog today, will go to criag list today.
June 2nd, 2010 at 1:09 pm
Get On Board, and “Show Me The Notes”!
Thank-you Very Much Russ…
June 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 pm
How do I create a note. Im not a real estate agent any longer. Do I talk to the seller and tell him/her I will help him find a lawyer to draw the papers when he gets a qualified buyer,
which will help him get to know me and he/she will (maybe) become a prospect if he decides to sell the note in the near future? A lot of “ifs” here. Am I missing the point?
June 3rd, 2010 at 1:24 pm
It’s awesome to read all the comments of all your students.it inspires me to work more…more hard to focus how to get a deal and not ashame to ask help to your top coaches there..your e-mail touches my heart and i can’t stop my teras falling down…you want us to have our FREEDOM in all aspect..thanks is a small word to say but more…more thanks…Almighty God bless YOU and your staff..
June 3rd, 2010 at 3:00 pm
Ok, I’m new at using craigslist. How do I contact the seller?
June 3rd, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Does the listing have to be from the state you live in or can you contact anybody from any state?
June 9th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
Hi Russ—Thanks! I used your advice to find some property FSBO in a certain area of the country where an Investor, I just met, said he was interested in, and also financing options. So your idea worked great to find the “potential note”.
As I am inexperienced I need some coaching on what to do next. I have not told him about what I found yet, and he is a very new acquaintance.
I will be calling for coaching Monday.
June 11th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
I would say your next step should be to contact this person and find out more about the property and get the details, and list em.
June 12th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Question if you have a note that is 90% ltv to a loan is this a good note? Or should the ltv be low which would state that there is equity in the property? Am I on the right track?
June 14th, 2010 at 6:55 am
I think the next step would be is to get in contact with that future note holder and make him aware of the option of selling his through my assistance.
June 15th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
OKAY I HAVE HAD THE COURSE SINCE JANUARY AND HAVE NOT FOUND ONE NOTE YET. I AM TAKING YOUR ADVICE RUSS AND I TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR FREE ADVICE. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO ATTEND OF YOUR COURSE. SO WHAT I AM GOING TO DO IS FIND SOME NOTES SO THAT I CAN INVEST IN YOUR COURSES AND GET ON WITH THE GOOD LIFE. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING RUSS AND I WILL HAVE A NOTE REAL SOON. NOW THAT INFORMATION IS POWERFUL FOR THOSE OF US THAT CAN’T AFFORD TO ATTEND A WORKSHOP. I SMELL A NOTE DEAL IN THE WORK.
June 16th, 2010 at 4:31 am
Hi Russ I am very intrested in your cash flow notes If I do find a note here in the near furture where will I post it Please let me know what web site to go to post it Thank you Terri
June 23rd, 2010 at 12:12 am
Thank you for the extra help on your website very rewarding,Their were some very much helpful tips.
June 26th, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Once you find and seller that is willing to do seller finacing without going through and bank
and they find and buyer that want’s to buy the property,which will become and note,How long do the seller have to recieve payment’s from the buyer,before he can sell the note,What if he recieved payment’s for 2month’s and wanted cash right away for the payment’s he’s recieving from the buyer,He just want and lump some of cash now.Would the seller qualify for his cash out note quote,Mor than likely I would run across some one like that.
June 27th, 2010 at 2:51 pm
The next step is for me to go and find them using what you found to be a great method of finding note, so that’s what im headed to do as i post!!
June 28th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
are there any other sites besides Craiglist where you can find cash flow notes?
June 28th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Ok, so, I go to Craigslist, find seller financing posts.
I would assume that you contact them via Craigslist or other method if they provide it to let them know what your business is.
You let them know that once they have a note and it is seasoned, if they wish to sell the note, you will be able to assist them.
You let them know the advantages of selling the note, as you would any other potential note deal. Ex. no worries about payments, lump sum cash for whatever they need/want.
Give them your contact info and get their contact info. Also, get info on the property. Value, if it has a 1st mortgage etc.
Am I right?
June 29th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
once he/she has found a buyer, then contact with to find out if he would be interested in selling his/her note to me.
July 8th, 2010 at 12:42 pm
Thank you very much for the information. I believe it’s my set time to land a note deal.
Shirley kinslow
July 9th, 2010 at 1:03 am
wow i didn’t think that i could get through it so quickly thanks so much russ
July 11th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Well I have been doing some research, and all show this is a really good program. I have not bought it, seems like I am missing alot. I have some other internet adventures, but they dont make me 5000$ in a hit.
So if you were to hand any advice to a 22 year old IT student? What would it be?
July 12th, 2010 at 10:21 pm
Thanks Russ for the tip of Craigs list. Now I can find notes on my computer and list them on your cite. I can get started now. Clinton
July 12th, 2010 at 10:56 pm
Since the owner would hold a green note if he sold; so, maybe he would settle for cash instead of a note. Making contact now by letter or phone might get future deals.
July 13th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
now we contact the not owners and see how viable or eager they r to sell then collect info and post
July 13th, 2010 at 5:38 pm
The next step is to contact the Note Holder,offer your services as a Note Finder to give them a free quote to find out how much their note is worth in today’s market.

July 18th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
I just checked on craigslist and found a lot seller financing but shows as broker?? Do i need to stricly look for sale by owner or broker is ok too? Thanks
July 19th, 2010 at 7:47 am
Thank You I found 13 seller financing note deals
July 21st, 2010 at 9:55 am
This is a question. You advise use to allow 3% of buyers offer to allow for closing costs. What type of personal expenses should I be looking for in this transaction, from beginning to end?
July 24th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Great tip for using Craigslist. I get on there a lot and try to drum up some business. Nothing yet but I have talked to lots of great people and hope that I have enough contacts to get some business going. Keep the tips coming we are ready to seek and list notes on the note network.
Thanks again,
Gabriel
July 25th, 2010 at 12:44 am

July 25th, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Does the property have to be sold first before I can help people with FSBO or seller financing property. If not someone please explain.
July 28th, 2010 at 12:06 am
Thanks for your tips on how to use craigslist.
July 29th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
Thanks Russ for the new info. This blog site is very useful. I don’t feel so alone , reading about other note broker’s experience’s , and I am sure the coaches are very helpful. Again thanks, looking forward to making my first deal.

I have not started finding notes as yet, I am reading getting the necessary information I can get. I really glad to know about Craigslist, of course I am going to the site.
Thanks Diana
August 3rd, 2010 at 7:25 pm
HELLO RUSS…THANKS FOR THE TIP what i need is learn to use these tools and a note factoring toolsofteware so when i have their motivation for getting rid of the note i can quickley have in mind a ball paek figure to silently use.This by hand wears me out still practicing.

August 13th, 2010 at 7:57 am
GOOD… REALLY, IS GOOD TO KNOW, NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THEY SAID THAT LIFE IS LEARNING PROCESS.
August 28th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Does anyone have an email that you send when you find people on the Internet? I am wondering what to say to them in an email when I contact them. Do you use the telephone script or what?
August 29th, 2010 at 8:52 am
well I feel that you you have to gather all credible info on the property.. to see if its worthy to be submited.also where the note stands,the clients position of need of cash,an if its a seasoned..before thinking about listing anything..
September 1st, 2010 at 8:54 am
